I have a 2010 Z7 with a 200 pro xs and LOVE it. there is no "weaker transom" issue. It is a sweet boat with a 200. All I have heard is that the Z7 with a 200 was selling so well they thought that by reducing the HP to 150 more buyer wanting more HP would opt for a z8. Not sure the accuracy, but...

I would actually choose the Z9 I think and maybe get them down a little. Seems like a good price on the Z8. The Z9 is far superior when it comes to storage the comfort for the tourney angler. and they are huge. The Z8 is sweet is well and you can't go wrong with either, but I like how the Z9 is...

I did see a certificate for a new Z6 for sale for $15K. It is listed on teh Swap or Sell page. doesn't mention a motor though.

if you are the original owner you are supposed to have a lifetime hull warranty I believe. and I also think the second owner gets 10 years maybe????? I would say you should be covered. I would be having that in to the dealer in no time.

good post TOX..... you are a lot nicer than I am.

yep, what Tox said

I am not sure the 24 is the way to go. as you move up in pitch you will lose rpms and you are already low. Doesn't sound like you have a jackplate but I would suggest raising the motor as long as you have good water pressure. as you raise the motor your rpms will come up and this results in...

I used to have a 2003 901 and from what I could tell of the 9 series boats I don't think there were any differences really at all of the different model years. great fishing platforms and layouts. I really like the 9 series Nitros.

yeah, it is not really about what will fit on the motor, it is more about what to get that will run good on your boat. a 200 on a Z8 will probably need a different prop that the same motor on a z7 in order to perform better. My Z7 with a 200 came stock with a 26p Tempest. That motor on a heavier...

Doug is right. basically a Ford/Chevy type of debate. both products are great and you should be fine with either one. I have always run MotorGuide, mainly because that is what has come on my Nitros I have owned. I would be fine with a Minn Kota though as well.

The majority of you detailing should be focused on not only cleaning but protecting the part of the boat that is in the sun the most from UV rays. I use BTS and love it. There are others too, but just be sure to protect the gelcoat from UV rays with something. Sure lemon Pledge may make it...

prayers sent. I have been there. very tough. Look to the Lord for comfort.

Not sure about that. I drive mine up to 70 regularly with no problems with chine until about 65-68mph. I won't question your driving, but may question your setup. I am willing to bet the motor is too low or something. I would start there.

something is off. like said, that motor won't push that boat 70mph. low 60s is about all it will get. I get 70 with my 200hp. YOu don't want a rooster tail. Rooster tails mean the boat is improperly setup and the prop thrust is simply being wasted by blowing water into the air. the tail should...

good luck. sounds interesting for us winter fishermen

I have the Stay n Charge, All Charge. small light and works great. Never an issue. I went to a 24v from a 36v system so was a bit worried about batteries wearing down. The All charge was at least piece of mind that I could always run the motor and charge them up. Havent had a need and it works...

had a basic smartcraft monitor (sc1000) on my last boat and it was awesome. it is hooked to the computer so you get absolute accurate info. able to see temp if you begin to overheat and can shutdown before damage occurs, true rpms for setup, hour meter, also has alarms and warnings if there are...

had livewell pump break and it took on water like the plug was out in my old 901. actually widdled a stick as a makeshift plug to finish the tourney. lol

My Z7 didn't have any compartment lights at all so I installed an LED kit from The Tackle Smith and I put one of the white led strips up underneath the console. Not only does is provide light on the floor with no glare, it is also very good lighting if yo uneed to work under the console behind...

yes...to all questions.
